Cayenne pepper contains many unique elements which can influence the hair follicles, skin cells, and blood circulation. Let’s take a look at the different elements of cayenne pepper and how they can affect hair growth in an individual.

Different Elements of Cayenne Peppers and Their Role in Hair Growth and Hair Regeneration

The most important element in cayenne peppers is Capsaicin which produces a tingling sensation on the skin. It stimulates the skin cells which increases the overall metabolic process of the skin on a cellular level. Due to intensive metabolism, blood rushes to the skin of the scalp and the hair follicles receive sufficient nutrition and oxygen content from the blood flow which greatly promotes hair growth. Also, Capsaicin stimulates the dead skin cells of the scalp which leads to new hair follicle production.

Different Vitamins of Cayenne Peppers

Cayenne pepper also contains different vitamins such as Vitamin A, C and Vitamin B6. All these vitamins play a vital role in hair health and hair growthVitamin C is also a potent antioxidant which stops the formation of harmful free radicals in the body which damage the hair follicles. Meanwhile, Vitamin A causes regeneration of damaged cells of the scalp and Vitamin B6 reduces massive hair shedding and strengthens hair follicles in an individual.

Cayenne pepper is being used as an oil-based and alcohol-based hair tonic to promote healthy hair growth. It can also help to decrease hair loss in patients suffering from hair diseases such as Alopecia Areata.
In addition to topical preparations, oral supplements of cayenne pepper can also be used to stimulate a healthy environment for hair to grow in. The usual recommended dose of oral cayenne pepper is about 400 to 475mg/day. However, this dose can vary depending upon the health conditions of each individual, so it’s always best to consult with your doctor before beginning a new supplement.
